I am proud to say I support none of this lot of Republican hacks we have right now before us. Now in the general I will have to make a huge decision not to vote (except for down ticket) or make a decision like I did for McCain.

Everyday I wonder why in this great country we cannot find a principled conservative who is also a leader.

I support Newt. I will vote for Newt......If you close the border, prevent employers from hiring illegals, and cut off government handouts to illegals, then some illegals will go home. This is self-deportation. So what do you think about it, Newt?

Self-deporting techniques that have been tried in other states do work. I wish Newt would have explained that.

Newt’s “ideas” on immigration are detestable, and the pandering to open-borders propagandist Jorge Ramos was nauseating. But it might be worse how he described Romney’s income as “$20 million a year automatic WITHOUT WORKING.” WTF? Like he didn’t work years ago to set up those investments? that he didn’t get double-taxed (corporate 35% and then Cap gains) on much of that income? I want Mittens defeated, but this is not the way to do it.

From where I came from, illegal immigration did and does take jobs away from US citizens. It also puts a tremendous strain on a Government already spending us into oblivion, meaning the ones who will truly be suffering are (again) US (taxpaying) citizens.

Gingrich is just wrong on this issue, if he truly means what he says.

I didn't like Bush's amnesty ideas and I don't like Gingrich's amnesty ideas. To me, it reflects an elitist attitude from those who either don't care about the middle class or are so detached they don't understand real America.

Newt will require illegals to get Id cards if they dont when they get caught they are gone. Newt will close the border with a fence and Homeland security being moved to the border so they can see Mexico from their window! Require businesses to do background checks to hire people! This will end illegals by default. They will leave!

Inviting illegals here is a ‘religious’ issue first. But of course the politicos for nonreligious purposes like/need cheap labors and votes. Illegal immigration is not view by those that fill their coffers, get their landscaping done on the cheap, as an ‘law and order’, Constitutional issue. It will be up to ‘we the people’ to demand law enforcement first and foremost to stop the invasion.

You and the rest attacking Newt are showing your own prejudices. He's saying some will not "self-deport" and ridiculous to suggest they would, given their circumstance.

You same rabble-rousers ignore Newt advocates the kind of enforcement AZ and other paradises of "self-deportation" have enacted well before ever looking at the edge cases he mentions for those few with long histories and deep community ties.

Having utterly failed to find a "pure" alternative and having destroyed everyone else but Mitt Romney, you lot are desperate to find a reason to hate the last man standing between Romney and the nomination.
